David LaMotte - Water lyrics

So they built their shiny hotel Where the water meets the land They smiled a little nervously As the ocean took the sand They went down below the shoreline And they hauled it back again But the heavy rain and the hurricane And the water's gonna win The water's gonna win Bring it all back It will wash away again The water's gonna win Pack it up or pack it in The water's gonna win The gla** of water you were sipping As you watched the morning come Has quenched the thirst of seven others Underneath a younger sun We are memories and moments We are born and born again Rushing stream and breathing steam The water's gonna win The water's gonna win Ascending and falling and rising up again The water's gonna win Ride the tide and ride the wind The water's gonna win Haul the rocks and sign the papers Pour another gla** of gin Cut the ribbon with the scissors But the water's gonna win You went down beside the river Just about a year ago Gave the ashes to the current Saw them swirl into the flow You still hold it all inside you You can't stop once you begin Close your eyes and feel it rising The water's gonna win The water's gonna win You can't hold back the tide You can't hide from what's within The water's gonna win Feel it move beneath your skin The water's gonna win It will with keep flowing through All we are and all we've been The water's gonna win Forever and amen The water's gonna win
